Inground pool installation in Whitby
Michael Durham Landscaping installs inground vinyl liner and fiberglass pools in Whitby, the town at the centre of Durham Region and home to the Region of Durham headquarters. Every install starts with utility locates and a survey review, then excavation to design depth, a compacted stone base under the shell, and clean stone backfill placed in lifts to support the pool deck.
Whitby properties range from established lots near downtown and the lakeshore to newer builds in Brooklin, where backyards are tighter and excavator access has to be planned around side yards and neighbouring fences. We scope access on the first site visit.
We are a landscaping and hardscaping company, so the interlock pool surround, enclosure fencing, grading and fresh sod are part of the same project and the same itemized quote.

Process
How pool installation works in Whitby
Site visit and layout
We measure the yard, review your survey, confirm setbacks and pool enclosure requirements, and mark the pool footprint so you can see it before anything is dug.
Permit and utility locates
The pool enclosure permit is coordinated with the municipality, and Ontario Dig Authority (formerly Ontario One Call) locates are completed before the excavator arrives.
Excavation and base
Dug to design depth with a compacted stone bed under the shell. Spoil is hauled off site or reused for grading where it makes sense.
Shell, backfill and plumbing
The vinyl liner or fiberglass shell is set level, plumbing is run, and clean stone backfill is compacted in lifts to support the pool deck.
Surround, fence and sod
An interlock or concrete pool deck, enclosure fencing that meets the by-law, final grading and fresh sod.
Permits
Town of Whitby pool enclosure permit

Requirements are set by the Town of Whitby and can change. We confirm the current rules for your address during the site visit and coordinate the permit before excavation.
